graduation gift

[cowboywayne]

this is a graduation gift I made for a friend that is graduating Navy boot camp friday, I will be heading out to the Chicago area to see the ceremony and givce him his gift. It is made from 1/4 in poplar with a luane backer board. Stained with golden oak. I used a piece of rope around it as a frame as well as to try to make it resemble a life preserver, maybe failed there but I think it still came out looking pretty good.

Nice work Wayne!

That is a mighty fine ship you scrolled there.

The recipient should like that gift, and the rope adds a nice finishing touch.

Congrats on a job well done.

Regards,
Marcel

Wayne,
I'm sure your friend will be as proud of your gift, as you are of your friend.
Very nice, very nice indeed.
Thanks for Sharing

What a great gift. Where did you get the ship pattern?
Please give the graduate my (our) best wishes and thank him for his efforts in watching over all of us. ( I gave Uncle Sam 11 years)
One question what camera are you using?
